Hank was born about September 16, 2016 and 'may' end up weighing in the 20 lb. range. Truly we are only guessing as we have no clue of parentage. These puppies have been raised in a loving foster home and have thrived since their arrival. Hank is very adventurous and very busy. He is the first to do everything and they suspect he will be finding the dog door before too long. He should have another active, playful, dog in his next home as he is the last to settle down, but the first to eat! We want to warn you that small dogs often have potty problems throughout life and floor potty pads may be a necessity.

Dumped on a very rural road! Bitsy was born about September 14, 2014 and weighs about 6 lbs. She is the most adorable, tiny, thing! She is very sweet with all of us, but due to her breed she may need just a little warm up time. Chihuahuas are just unsure of new humans often and shouldn't be grabbed at by humans that don't know them. She is doing amazing in her foster home and is great with all the other dogs and cat. She's also been good with the visiting child. Floor potty pads may need to be in her future as with most of these tiny dogs they can struggle with house training and need to go quickly. Perhaps this is the reason that ... (Read More)someone let them out of the car, on a very rural road, where someone wasn't that far away and heard the door slam and the car take off. Sadly, they drove in the opposite direction and the car wasn't visible. A very kind lady saw one and then the other and she was able to attract them to her within a day of being dumped. She called dog control and they were able to come here so they could find a new home that understands small dogs. This kind lady has visited them and is so happy they are well and happy. Now we just need to find them a permanent home that will love them forever! (Less)

Midnight is a cute little chihuahua mix, about 10 months old who, shortly after coming to us, injured her foot and broke 3 of her toes!

Meet Lola! She is a 7 month old Chihuahua mix who was rescued from a hoarding situation with 21 other dogs, all of whom were living in a car! Until August, she had lived her whole life in that car. She is one of the sweetest, spunkiest dogs I've ever met. She is very shy with new people at first but once she likes you, she LOVES you. She is super cuddly-she loves to take naps with her person or just be a lap dog while you're doing computer work. She would be an amazing companion for someone who works from home. She also loves to play with all types of toys and chew on bones. She gets along with other dogs though she does take a little ... (Read More)time to warm up to them. She LOVES to play with cats-perhaps because they are her size! She likely won't be more than about 12-15 lbs. She is great in her crate and doesn't ever have accidents in it. She is about 90% reliable on her wee wee pads when she is free roaming. She also walks well on leash and likes to go on walks in quiet areas. She loves zooming around the backyard. She's really a blast to hang out with as long as she has the time to warm up to strangers. Her foster loves her so much that she wishes she could keep her but wants to keep fostering and helping other dogs. Her ideal home would be in Westchester or Fairfield county because she is very attached to her foster mom and she would love to help transition her into her new home.

We have rescued Ronnie from a hoarding situation. His estimated date of birth is 5/5/2013. He has little socialization around people, and is very timid. For days, he hid under furniture in his foster's home and would only come out to eat and then go back under to hide. Since then, with a lot of TLC, he has come out of his shell and is learning to trust! He now looks for human attention, and loves to be pet. Being he is from a hoarding situation, we think the best home for him would not have younger children. As the running and commotion that come along with young children, could very well scare him and make him want to hide. A calmer home ... (Read More)would be best for this adorable little man. From Ronnie's foster mom: 'Ronnie is the leader of the pack when it comes to playing, he wrestles with peaches (the pitbull) and plays with his buddy Spanky, he loves treats and took his bath very well yesterday. He is not a barker and he loves to be petted. He has progressed greatly and craves attention!' This boy has been through so much, and deserves a forever home of his own!! (Less)

Small dogs are not just shrunken large dogs, they have some unique characteristics. No information comes from the south as the dogs are not given much time to find homes. Taking a lot of information is not worth the time of ... (Read More)the shelter staff - sad, but true. (Less)

My elderly human became too ill for me. Buddy was born about July 28, 2013 and weighs about 7 lbs. He is adorable and very sweet to the humans that he knows. However, he will definitely need some warm up time meeting strangers and a bit of adjustment time to love his new humans. Sadly, his elderly human became too ill to care for him and called us. He is somewhat house trained as far as going outside, but is very good about using potty floor pads. He did well on his 2 hour car ride here. He has very little leash experience as she was unable to walk him. He was great with her and fine with the men he knew. He is your typical ...

Good thing I'm cute and llittle! Bobby was born about April 2, 2013 and weighs about 8 lbs. He is sure a cute little thing that is short haired except he has this little bit of beard action going around his mouth. We are just going to get it out in the open here, he is one of 'those' Chihuahuas that take warm up time to love you and will probably never be nice to strangers rushing him. Also, like so many of these tiny dogs he will benefit from having potty floor pads handy for those just in case moments. The tiny dogs just can't hold it that long. Now for the good stuff! He is good on leash and great with other dogs and cats alike. ... (Read More)Bobby also loves to go for rides! He is here because someone without many resources to begin with lost their job and had to move where Bobby wasn't allowed. Bobby is doing well here, but would love his own humans and a home to call his very own - forever. Once he loves you he is MAJOR SNUGGLY! (Less)

I Weigh a WHOLE Five Pounds! Kam was born March 22, 2005 and weighs 5 lbs. She is as cute as can be, but is a bit on the nippy side. She will need some work on house training because she came from a puppy mill where she's been popping out puppies for pet store shelves all her life. Also, Chihuahua's struggle with house training anyway and often require potty pads or maybe a litter box. She's a doll that deserves a wonderful new life if you have a little patience to send her way.

Chihuahua Dogs can make good pets in New York if they match your IifestyIe. Chihuahuas are high strung, yappy, tiny dogs. Chihuahuas are loyal to the point of possessiveness and obsession with their masters. Chihuahuas are bold, high energy dogs that make wonderful companions for their owners but are suspicious of strangers. Chihuahuas are not well suited to families with children due to the dogs' defensiveness and tendency to snap when provoked. Chihuahuas need to be thoroughly socialized. Despite their small size, Chihuahuas are often aggressive with other dogs. Chihuahuas do fine living in an apartment but need plenty of daily exercise.
